Reliability - Ann

I think of myself as a reliable person. But after reading the chapter I will say I feel bad for getting behind on my reading and thoughts...............It was quite unreliable of me. 

"The girl gone wise is faithful, loyal and dependable. The heart of her husband trusts her, She's a woman of her word." When it come to reliability and my husband I had to stop and think about it. I think I do pretty well, but there are areas such as always making sure their is dinner to eat, and making sure his clothes are clean where I do slack off once in a while. Not always coming home when I said I would be home. Brian trusts me, but there are times when I get caught up in myself or other things, where he gets neglected. I know that with our opposite schedules, it is easy for us to get caught up in our own little worlds, so there is definitely room to improve when it comes to reliability and my hubby. I know i can work on incorporating the "our" more than the "my."

Mary reminds us that "Marriage is much more than a human covenant, it is a covenant with God." and that God wants us to be faithful to others as he is to us, and "when we are faithful to a covenant we put God on display." How great to be reminded of how important our marriages are and that by being faithful to our spouses and commitments we are putting God on display....how neat! I didn't really think about it like that!

God wants us to be faithful just as He is faithful to us and how wonderful that He is faithful to us "God remembers his promises forever" Psalm 111:5 and Tim 2:13 " His is never unfaithful. Not ever! If we are faithless he remains faithful-for he cannot deny himself." Wowzer! our God is good, and he loves us so much! 

I may add more thoughts later but for now I need to go to bed : )

Jesus, I pray that we may be true women of our word. Dependable, truthful, faithful and reliable in all things as you are for us!
